VISIT TO THE WIDOW OF BURNS.
->
f From Carter's Letter *.]
Having understood from our friends at
Irvine, that the widow of Robert Burns
w.is still living at Dumfries, tyid that she is
accessible to strangers without Lumal let
ters of inlrodi lion, after breaklast this
morning, we addressed a note to her, sla
ting that two gentlemen from the United
States, who are among the transatlantic ad
mirers ol the Scottish Bard, and who had
just visited his birth place, as well as the
scenes which his muse had consecrated,
were anxious to [ray their respects to Mrs.
Burns in the course ol the morning, d per
fectly agreeable. The request was com
municated by our clever and obliging land
lady, who lives within a lew doors.
In the mean time while this interesting
suit was pending we walked to the village
Kuk to visit the tomb ol the poet himself.—
Our old guide was personally acquainted
with him, and had passed many a social
night before Ins own hearth. The church
yard contains an unusual number of hand
some monuments, many ol them being fin
ish'd with little turrets in the Gothic style.
The mausoleum in memory of Burns is
cied.ruble to the liberality and taste of the
public, at whose expense it was erected. —
It consists of an octagonal temple suppor
ted by lonic pillars, and surmounted by a
handsome dome. In the back part there is
a statue of the poet, as large as life, vvi
his bosom open, and in tire attitude
holding the plough. Above, the muse
seen throwing over him “the inspir:
mantle/’ The design was taken from
pas-age in the dedication to the Caledonia
Hunt, in which the author alludes to h
early and subsequent pursuits. There up
pea red to be a defect in the representation
since the whole ol the plough is seen, will
the ,<oet in the awkward posture of holding
it vituout a team. If there was not room for
the whole, a part of the rural imph men
might have been concealed, so its to reiulei
the defect less obvious. The monument is
end >sed by a neat iron railing, and the lit
tle are i, perhaps forty feet square, is cov
ered with a profusion of shrubbery, consist
ing of holly, die wild rose, laurel yew, and
other evergreens, which beautifully shade
the torn*.
() . our return to the hotel, the hostess
cominu ncated the compliments of Mrs.
B mis, with (he gratifying intelligence, that
she w mid he happy to see us at any hour
we mi dii cuoose to call. Being anxious to
o t n
leave town as soon as possible, we promptly
accepted h“r act of kindness. She lives in
n neat two story house, on Burns-streot,
not tar from the church. We were recei
ved b. nor ii- the pirlour door with a cor
dial shake of the hand, and by every mark
of Hospitality. The apartment is tastefully
farms.ted with all toil can conduce lo com
fort, and is ornamented with an original
portrait of Bums, by Nahmith, ofE Cu
bing, when e .he o'ber likenesses are deri
ved. I tiL house the poet died ; and in
the wa ii h of -monish feeling, blended
with c mjug il art’* ion, the surviving purt
nei >1 his bosom informed us, that she would
not exchange n f.,r a palaee. She lives
c'.ufortaoly on an income of =£3oo a year,
wilnali th auburn-haired grand-child, (not
yet t’>o old to give each of us a kiss,) to oc
eupv he. atte ,hoii in (lie hours ot retire
lu ut. She has three children, all of whom
arc absent —one in London, and the other
two, odium# in the army, now in the East
Indies.
M s. Burns is apparently at the age of
b tween fifty and Mxty, retaining traces ol
tm.se Ii n ame ol beauty, which the poet
Lund in his “ bonny Jea.i/’ She lias a
good form, and iier dark lull eye is still

ft so happened that our last night in Scot
land, after a sati.factory and agreeable vis
it of six weeks, was on (lie anniversary of
what is denominated, in the legends of su
perstition, Halloween, and its mystic rites
were duly observed by a group of rosy
checked lassies at the hotel. Near the
witching time of night, half a dozen of them
groped their way in the garden to pull cab
bage stalks. But a description of the cere
monies would be too long for the end of a
sketch already too prolix, and if any of my
readers are curious to revive their recollec
tions on (he subject, they have only to recur
to the graphic poem of Burns :
*• Some merry, countra folk,

To burn th»*ir nuts and pnu their stuck.

FIFTY YEARS AGO,
i [ ■ rom oah’s Advocate.]
On the 4th of July next, we shall have
- completed the first half century of our na
tional existence. During that brief portion
of lime our country has performed the work
of ages. From a feeble infancy she has
i grown, with unexampled rapidity, to a giant’s
ijsize an l a giant’s strength.— She has dashed
i through all the obstacles which jealousy and
hatred Hung in her path, to a surprizing
point, of greatness,—Her valour has com
in.inded the respect —her enterprize h is ex
cited the emulation—her prudence won the
regard—and her success obtained the admi
; ration of the world.
' Fifty years ago, and these States were
• linked together by an uncertain and frail
1 tenure, which the slightest breath of interest
I night have destroyed. Now, we are a firm
i and solid brotherhood, which neither treach
ery (if there be any) from within, nor assaults
■ without, can dissolve. Fifty years ago, the
• pattiest principality in Europe might treat
i us with disdain :—Now, the mightiest em
pires in the world solicit o tr friendship, and
■ avoid our hostility.—Fifty years ago, our
civil policy was sneered at by the ent'es of
i the old world, as chimerical rul impr.i,
- hie;—Now, m bus been v-V • •

'These are some of the marvellous con
t leasts which the two extremes of half a cen
p tury exhibit. The history of the interval
. is of a noble and spirit-stirring character. It
|is a history of human good. It is a historv
- which flings a lustre, not only on our coun
. try, but on our very nature. It is stained by
, no national 1 turpitude. 'The convulsions of
| civil war and treason have left no spots upon
. its page. It is marked neither with humili
-1 ating submission nor insolent oppression,
s To a young, struggling, and high-spirited
■ Ipeople, the divisions of party are natural ;
I and where there is party, there will ever be
. some violence ; it is “ the salt of our nation
.al existence but on our national day, we
i meet without political distinction and re
r jo ice without being trammelled hv party.
t Our commerce presents a surprising pic
line of enterprize and success. Wherever
f! the winds of heaven can blow, there is our
I Hag, protected hy a gallant navy, unfurled.
t| The facilities for promoting internal trade
numerous beyond all example:—New
I roads daily starling into existence ; canals,
~ exceeding in magnitude and utility, every
tiling before known , and a natural watei
l( comtnunicH ion of the most prodigal kind,
Our agriculture has reduced the wilderness
. M submission, and has furnished mankind
r with novel and useful productions. In
v !manufactures, (the last applicauce of social
{industry) our progress lias, within a few
’ years been singularly rapid, and is full ol
’ promise.— From the Lakes to the Gulfol
j Mexico, from the Atlantic to the mountains
of the West—all is one vast arena of activi
( ty, perseverance and success.
Nor has the moral advance of ourcoun
, try been consistent with its political pro-
L . gress. Literature, the luxury of old states,
.is respectable with us. We have as yet
. no ancient and opulent institutions for the
encouragement of lettered ease, and as
yet literature has not become a distinct
profession. But our works on morality,
religion and politic, together with the
e higher literature of novals, poetry, travels
» and essays, arc such as to justify a wel
1 founded pride for the past and hope for
i the future. In the tine arts we are consi
derably behind, and in the nature of things
must remain so for many years. This is
because (he occasions lor display are few, ,]
and not becau->e there is any want of geni- 6
1 us. Some of the leading artists of Europe s
are native born Americans. In science e
: vve are inferior to none. This isthecor
ner stone of our intellectual triumph. To
: the great stock of scientific inventions and 1
discoveries we have contributed more than
our share. In general education we are
before the rest of the world. Our schools
are numerous and excellent. They are »
mainly distinguished by their character of "
utility. Nothing for parade—nothing for a
• vanity. The skill of American dipl nna- %
lists has been universally recognized—
Our divines are especially famous ; and p
amidst some bad taste, the general elo- "
quence of our statesmen is of the best or- v
der. The laws, enacted with a particular U
reference to the common good, are admin- 1
istered with temperance, impartiality and
knowledge. The freedom «t person and
the security of property confirmed by bul-i*-
! warks which every one may assist to erect,|*
but which no one is permitted Ip assail. *
1 Our condition is, in all respects, siigu- I 1
‘ lariy happy. With a climate various and 1
! healthy ; a territory prodigiously exten
sive and fertile; harbors numerous and 1
Icapucious; iula* i navigation unlimited; 1
a people active and intripid ; we are bless- 1
S ed with every thing necessary to mak a
powerful, prosperous, and enduring em- *
pire. Nor do we confine these advanta- *
: ges to ourselves. Here may the oppress- c
'ed of every cou itry find a refuge—and 1
here the industrious a home. We have no (
j respect of persons; no distinction of cree..; c
no absurd inequality of tanks. Industry *
1 and integrity are our only titles to respect 4
1 and our surest securities for success. 1
Buch is the geneftil character and ap- *
’ pearance of our country, after a trying 4
! probation of fifty years.* Much of this vast
1 prosperity is due (under God’s mercy) to
' our h appy situation ; but far more to the 11
pri miples and form of our government.— *
for such a career of glory and wealth, '
ivouchsafed to us alone amongst the na- {
whilst the storms of war were '
ing over the face of the world, we '
deep obligation of gratitude Let *
celebrate the approaching anniversary *
with he solemn joy which befits it Let! 1
ke an oblation of petty dilferencesj *

HON OF THE RESURRECTION. .
lought I saw a very handsome youth I
)g in the air, and sounding of a 1
t ; but the forcing of his breath did
take off much ot his beauty. Th*
i übles, 1 perceived, and the dead ■ -
is call ; lor in the same moment th
'gan to open, and set the bones at
o seek their fellows. The first that
1 appeared were swordmen, as generals of 1
f armies, captains, lieutenants, common sol
s diers, who, supposing that it had sounded
* a charge, came out ot their graves with the
v same briskness and resolution as if they had
: been going to an assault or a combat. Tue i
’■ laisors put theie heads out, all pale aiul
• meinbling, for fear of a plunder. The caval- i
e iers and good fellows believed that they i
had been going to a horse-race or hunting
■ tratch. And, in fine, thought they heard
’ the trumpet; there was not any creature
‘ who knew the meaning of it. After this, ;
I there appeared a great many souls, where- i
y of some came up to their bodies, though i
’ with much difficulty and horror; others i
V stood wondering at a distance, not daring i
* to come near so hideous and frightful a
II spectacle. This wanted an arm, that an
" eye, t’other a head. Upon the whole, thot’ i
• I could wot hut smile at the prospect of so
* strange a variety of figures, yet it was not |
5 without just matter of admiration at the
e all-powerful Providence, to see cyder drawn
' out of confusion,-and every part restored
e to the right owner. 1 dreamed myself then
■ in a church yard, suul there, me thought, di
vers that were loth to appear, were chang
" ing of heads; and an attorney would have
r demurred upon pretence that he had got a
r soul that was none of his own, and that his
• body and soul were not fellows. —Sir It. le

* tea only was prejudicial, anil that he took it;

» Dr. Johnson, whose nerves were at least!
d as susceptible as his Grace’s, declared him-j
iv self tube a hardened and shameless tea-i
d drinker, whose kettle had scarcely time to

1 he Courier of the 3d. of May, states that
the Paris papers of Saturday and Monday,
contain intelligence from Greece of so posi

be doubted—according to which Missolonghi
has successfully withstood the attacks of the
Egyptians under Ibrahim Pacha. The ac
count of the death of Ibrahim Pacha has been
officially received at Corfu, from Prevasa,
on the 4th. of April.—Three Tartars were
despatched to the latter place for Surgeons,
but before they could return with medical
aid, this celebrated chieftain expired. The
news is said to be confirmed under dates
from Leghorn, Corfu, Zanie, Trieste, An

Letters from Constantinople, of April 7,
say that a courier from St. Petersburg!!,

residence of Minziacky, an-1 it was report
ed that he was tie bearer of a categorical
declaration from the Emperor Nicholas, in
which that Monarch insists on the necessi
ty of terminating the differences between
Russia and the Porte. The Emperor de
mands the re-establishment of the privi
leges of the two princl' alities as well as
th*- immediate sending of Turkish Commis
sioners to settle, in concert with Russia
negotiators, the difficuhies which have so
long subsisted between the Por.te and Rus

Th»* house of M. Satarover, in Brody,

1 For a month past the most contradictory
e intelligence has been received from the Le
s vant, relative to the fate of Missolonglri.
- The clashing accounts, when considered
separately, carry with them such an air of
probability, that no other course remained
, for us than to lay the differing details before
, our readers, leaving it to time to elucidate
8 the truth. The advices received from all
quarters now coincide in stating that Misso
-1 longhi, so far from having fallen, is victori
i ous, and it is with much pleasure we com
- municate the following intelligence :
I Kxlractofa private letter, dated Venice, April 15.
“Ibrahim Pacha is defeated, and Greece
once more victorious! Letters from Prevesa,
s Santa Maura, Ithaca, and Z.-mte, of the 26th,
- 28th, and 29th, ult. assure us that Ibrahim,
4 tired of seeing his troops detained since No-
II vernber, before the walls of a petty fortress,
- resolved, after seeing all his propositions re
jected with disdain, to try his fortune once
y more. To that effect he made preparations,
- and on the 24th ult. determined to attempt
ea general assault. A brisk cannonading first
e announced the enemy’s attack ; and shortly
after, upon a signal being given, disciplined
a troops were seen to advance on one side, and
irregular hordes of Chipetars. Asiatics, and
, Mamelukes on the other. Ibrahim, sword
ein hand, commanded in person. He ad
e vanced the first upon one of the ramparts
s named Dovand, which is near the sea. Hi#
r troops were following him with boldness,
when all at once the advanced guard upon
whom a shower was poured by the artillery
t of the fortress, were thrown into disorder,
e The Pacha was wounded ; and the rumor
of this event being spread among the
t troops, completely disheartened them.—
- The Greeks, without losing a moment,
took advantage of the disorder of the ene
i. mv, opened the town gates, and made a
n vigorous sortie, which was seconded by Col.
s Fabvier, who came up upon the enemy’s
e rear with 2000 men of infantry and 700
d cavalry, and by Gouras, Karaiscaki and
f other Armatolis, who took with them more
e, than 7000 men, picked out of the Palicares
-of Romelia. The barbarians were com
pletely routed ; and Ibrahim, wounded ami
it ashamed of his defeat, had scarcely time to
- take refuge at Patras with the remainder of
g his army. All the enemy’s baggage and
e materiel fell into the hands of the conquer
o ors. It is asserted that a very high person
age fell in the action ; for on the field of
- battle was a turban adorned with a vergoulz,
- set in diamonds (a kind of plume which the
o Sultan sends to Generals who by their va
lor have shown themselves entitled to dis
-0 Unction.) Letters of the Ist inst. from
h Zante, announce that Ibrahim is dead of
i, wound. The same letters say that the
a Greek fleet, which had gone to Hydra for
II repair, was to put to sea on the 26tli ult.
• The different sources from which this in
d telligence has reached me, and the respecta
i- ble character of my correspondents, banish
all doubt of its truth. You and all the
h friends of Greece may rejoice, and look for
:- more ample details of this memorable day.
